Two “under 35” awards go to SISSA

Giovanni Bussi and Paolo Gidoni earn the “Premio Città Impresa”

Giovanni Bussi and Paolo Gidoni, a researcher and a PhD student at SISSA respectively, are among the recipients of Premio Città Impresa 2013, a yearly award devoted to "under 35" talents of the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige.

"They are entrepreneurs, researchers, innovators; they show promise in sports, or stand out for their commitment in volunteer work or fight for cultural renewal": this is a portrayal of the winners of the award assigned during Festival Città Impresa, that has just ended.

Giovanni Bussi, a very young scientist heading up a biophysics research team, only a few months ago had obtained an ERC (European Research Council) Starting Grant, a grant amounting to about € 1.3 million.
